It is on the snare tops, snare bottoms, toms, bass, guitars, vocals. It is basically what I use for all the <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/eq-cheat-sheet\/\">musical EQ<\/a>, and all the boosting. It really is the tone shaping plugin that I use across almost every single track in the mix. I think you need to have a nice kind of musical EQ that you can also push pretty hard. For heavy metal you want that punchy top end to cut through the mix, so you need to be able to push this fairly hard, and this plugin allows oyu to do that.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/waves.alzt.net\/dqG3W\">2.

This plugin is amazing for when you need to enhance or replace drum sounds. It is by far the most accurate triggering plugin I have ever used. It is extremely quick to choose samples, and then lay it down to a track.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Related: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/mixing-metal-drums-with-david-gnozzi\/\">Mixing Metal Drums with David Gnozzi<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/waves.alzt.net\/rZjDd\">4.

What this does is really controls and tightens up the low end boominess of a heavy guitar. I have the compressor set so it is only going to be affecting the low-mid range between 100 and 400 hertz. This is much better than scooping that out with an EQ because that would make our guitar tone sound thin and we would be missing that low-mid power.<\/p>\n<p>The second place I always use this is on the bass. This time I am using it on all those sub, rumbly frequencies &#8211; from about 100 hertz down. I am just compressing those frequencies on their own, and the goal here is to compress the low end so that it&#8217;s solid across wherever he&#8217;s playing on the neck. Once that&#8217;s compressed, I can just use the gain control here and then just turn my sub low end up or down in the mix.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/best-metal-guitars\/\">The 9 Best Metal Guitars For Players Of All Skill Levels<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/waves.alzt.net\/2BdX0\">5.

This is the first thing I insert on a vocal track, and it takes be 75% of the way there, and then I take it the rest of the way with SSL Channel Eq-ing into it, and then some de-essing and saturation afterwards.
